‘Jenny Brook’ Wallflower


Wow, purple and apricot, what an unusual color combination for a garden flower! These colors can be found blooming simultaneously on a wallflower discovered in Wales called ‘Jenny Brook’.

Narrow, linear leaves line this shrubby evergreen perennial that grows to about 18” tall and wide. The bi-color flower clusters are held above the foliage. Flower colors range from lavender to purple, to apricot, pink and rose. Bloom time is February through April in north Texas. They even make a nice cut-flower.

Maintenance is very low to non-existent. Poor to moderate soils are just fine as long they are well drained, which makes ‘Jenny Brook’ very suitable for the poor soils that abound in north Texas. Full to part sun is also required.

Give this shy little wallflower a whirl. She will prove that she is worthy of a place in your garden.
